Elon Musk has risked stoking the heightened political tensions surrounding the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk by posting on X the statement: “The Left is the party of murder.”
Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a key ally of President Donald Trump, was shot in the neck by a sniper’s bullet at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday. He was raced to hospital but died soon afterwards. He leaves behind a wife and two young children.
